,;.,,“”. Limit is not about taking risks—it's an attempt to explore the meaning of life; it gives people greater spiritual strength. I want to say that Da He's story has touched many people—he is China’s “George Eyser.”
—.,e,,,,,.2013,. Da He—Zhang Baoyu. An outdoor sports enthusiast, former moderator of the Datong branch of Off-Road E-Community, former vice-chairman and secretary-general of the Datong Municipal Committee, and a seasoned participant in various sports including cars, motorcycles, skiing, and flying. In 2013, an accident caused him to lose sensation below his abdomen, and he was classified as having a first-degree disability.
“,“!.,.“”! “Fate took his legs but gave him a pair of wings!” Soaring in the blue sky once more is Da He’s dream. To achieve this, he overcame unimaginable difficulties, and his friends specially customized flight gear for him. A majestic eagle, “reborn from broken wings,” will take to the skies again.
VAUDE(),,,“”,. VAUDE (VauDe), Extreme Tracker Network, and Yingshi Sports planned the public welfare campaign “I Am Legend” to help Da He realize his dream and return to the skies.
““””,,,.“”,!,,!,,! The core of the campaign is “Relaunch” and “Legend.” It tells the touching true story of a pilot who became paralyzed from the waist down due to injury and, through relentless personal effort and support from all sectors of society, returned to flying in the blue sky. Da He’s journey enabled him to overcome his condition and become a strong person in life. At the same time, it will inspire all disabled individuals who see this story and who suffer from or are troubled by illness to stay strong, strive forward, and find their own place and direction in life. The campaign wants to tell all people with disabilities that physical disability is not frightening—the frightening thing is losing the positive attitude to pursue a beautiful life.

—— —Da He
---EVER---
[] [Once]
, He was a bird in the wind, an eagle among the clouds
Like flowing clouds and running water
Soaring across the sky
Once
210 He held a curved double-layer wing surface over 2 meters wide with a wingspan of 10 meters
Gliding low to trace a perfect arc
---CHANGE---
[ ] [ Change ]
, And from that moment on, everything began to change,
2013
A sports accident left him seriously injured,
resulting in the loss of sensation below his lower abdomen,
and medical assessments indicated little chance of recovery.
He was depressed for quite a long time.
He began to reflect on life anew.
He felt a sense of peace he had never known before.
His physical condition could not stop him from pursuing the meaning and exploration of life.
He was going to return to the skies again.
